520 |a The study explores the ambivalent relationship of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) Catholics within the Roman Catholic Church whose teachings on sexuality are a major source of conflict and distress. It analyses the experiences of LGBT believers with a strong attachment to the Church in Malta and, to a lesser extent in Palermo, who now feel marginalised by the Church because of their sexual relationships. They are critical of the Church and feel alienated from it as an institution. As their lifestyle departs from Catholic teachings, they reconstruct their sexual morality which, however, is still inspired by Catholic values. Despite their negative feelings towards it, LGBT Catholics are reluctant to sever their ties completely from the Church, preferring instead to have remained within its fold and to be embraced by it. Study participants may be classified into three overlapping categories in terms of how they relate to the Church, depending on their level of alienation. Assimilators feel at peace with the Church and remain loyal even as they criticise it. Deserters leave the Church, some rather reluctantly, as they feel rejected and judged. Affiliators join LGBT faith-based groups searchingdid not find within the Church community.
